Abstract: Crosstalk mitigation among cameras in neighboring monitored workcells is achieved by computationally defining a noninterference scheme that respects the independent monitoring and operation of each workcell. The scheme may involve communication between adjacent cells to adjudicate non-interfering camera operation or system-wide mapping of interference risks and mitigation thereof. Mitigation strategies can involve spread-spectrum techniques.

Abstract: Systems and methods for continuously monitoring a workcell during operation of industrial machinery are disclosed. The system may comprise a safety system that includes at least one sensor and supporting software and/or hardware for acquiring image data associated with the workcell; a monitoring system for detecting a parameter value associated with the safety system; and a controller configured to determine a status of the safety system based at least in part on the detected parameter value and cause an alert to be issued if the status of the safety system does not satisfy a target objective.

Abstract: Control systems for industrial machinery (e.g., robots) or other devices such as medical devices utilize a safety processor (SP) designed for integration into safety applications and computational components that are not necessarily safety-rated. The SP monitors performance of the non-safety computational components, including latency checks and verification of identical outputs. One or more sensors send data to the non-safety computational components for sophisticated processing and analysis that the SP cannot not perform, but the results of this processing are sent to the SP, which then generates safety-rated signals to the machinery or device being controlled by the SP. As a result, the system may qualify for a safety rating despite the ability to perform complex operations beyond the scope of safety-rated components.

Abstract: Safety systems in distributed factory workcells intercommunicate or communicate with a central controller so that when a person, robot or vehicle passes from one workcell or space into another on the same factory floor, the new workcell or space need not repeat the tasks of analysis and classification and can instead immediately integrate the new entrant into the existing workcell or space-monitoring schema. The workcell or space can also communicate attributes such as occlusions, unsafe areas, movement speed, and object trajectories, enabling rapid reaction by the monitoring system of the new workcell or space.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sensor registration for a workcell including a floor are disclosed. In some embodiments, a disclosed method comprises: disposing a plurality of three dimensional (3D) image sensors proximate to the workcell; acquiring, with the plurality of 3D image sensors, a plurality of 3D images of the workcell, wherein at least one of the plurality of 3D images includes at least a portion of the floor; determining, based on a first user selection of a region of a first image of the plurality of 3D images of the workcell, a first floor point indicating a first portion of the floor in the first image; computing a first floor plane representing the floor based on the first floor point; and registering the 3D image sensors to each other and to the workcell based at least in part on the plurality of 3D images and the first floor plane.
